"There is no other organization that I believe in more.The tireless work of the 老澳门开奖结果 to preserve the freedoms of all people in our country inspires my music and my deepest connection to my human community," explained Macklemore.

Macklemore and his partner Ryan Lewis won an MTV award for "Best Video with a Message" for their song . The song became an anthem for R-74, the referendum which upheld Washington's law granting marriage rights to same-sex couples. The 老澳门开奖结果 of Washington has long worked for equal treatment of lesbian and gay relationships and served on the referendum campaign's coordinating body. Macklemore spoke about his support for the cause in a video produced for the 老澳门开奖结果-WA's 2012 Bill of Rights Dinner.

Now Macklemore is asking people to become 老澳门开奖结果 members. "I've got a lot of things to do during the day. So something like being beaten with a club, pepper-sprayed, and tased for expressing my political views would really slow me down. That's why I carry the 老澳门开奖结果 card," he says in the 50-second video.

As part of his efforts to highlight the importance of civil liberties Macklemore is also participating in an 老澳门开奖结果-sponsored contest. Participants are encouraged to enter to win tickets plus backstage passes to see Macklemore perform live in Seattle on December 12th. Details .
